Human Genome Question?
So we were talking in class about the Human Genome Project. Then a girl started talking about this group, be mailed a cotton swab thing and mail it to them, and they can trace their ancestry and stuff. Does anyone know of this? Web Site? Thanks
She is speaking their DNA ancestry. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) AKA mother of DNA can be used to trace the lineage or the Y chromosome DNA Http: / / www.dnaancestryproject.com/?gclid=CJnjzLHHs5sCFQxM5Qod0At2Qg http://dna.ancestry.com/welcome. aspx Wiki Definition: A genealogical DNA test examines the nucleotides at specific locations on a person's DNA for genealogy purposes genetics. The results of the tests do not pretend to have any informative medical value and do not determine certain diseases or genetic disorders (see possible exceptions on the medical information below), and serve only to give genealogical information. Genealogical DNA tests generally involve comparing outcomes of people living in relation to historical populations.

Human Genome Diversity Project $82.85 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP) was started by Stanford Universitys Morrison Institute and a collaboration of scientists around the world. The HGDP is in no way related to the Human Genome Project, and has attempted to maintain a completely distinct identity. Unlike the latter, which has attempted to map the entire human genome, the HGDP has attempted to map the DNA that varies between humans, which is less than 1 different.

Chimpanzee Genome Project $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Chimpanzee Genome Project is an effort to determine the DNA sequence of the Chimpanzee genome. It is expected that by comparing the genomes of humans and other apes, it will be possible to better understand what makes humans distinct from other species.Human and common chimpanzee chromosomes are very similar. The primary difference is that humans have one fewer pair of chromosomes than do other great apes. In the human evolutionary lineage, two ancestral ape chromosomes appear to have fused at their telomeres producing human chromosome two. There are nine other major chromosomal differences between chimpanzees and humans: chromosome segment inversions on human chromosomes 1, 4, 5, 9, 12, 15, 16, 17, and 18. After the completion of the Human genome project, a Common Chimpanzee genome project was initiated. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
